👴 This is the first Stanley Cup Final rematch in over 40 years, highlighting the rarity of such occurrences in major sports.

🤤 The shift in favorites from last year’s series (Panthers -125 to Oilers -120) reflects changing team dynamics and expectations.

📊 Over the last 22 years, series favorites have a strong winning record (18-4), indicating a trend towards favoring the higher-seeded team.

😱 The Oilers' potential victory would end a long-standing championship drought for Canadian teams in the NHL.

😤 The Panthers aim to join an elite group of teams that have successfully repeated as champions, a feat achieved only five times in the last 40 years.
